Worthing's listed direct cremation prices start from around £1,240 and reach £2,054, averaging roughly £1,635. A fully attended, traditional funeral starts from about £1,692 and can rise to £3,517, averaging closer to £2,981 — a notably wide gap between the lowest and highest attended-funeral quotes.
12 NAFD- or SAIF-registered funeral directors currently cover Worthing and the surrounding coastal towns.
It comes down to what's included — a simple, small-scale service costs far less than one with multiple limousines, a large venue and premium extras, so the £1,692 to £3,517 range reflects very different packages rather than inconsistent pricing.
Not fundamentally — the process of registering a death and arranging a funeral is the same UK-wide, though some coastal families choose to scatter ashes at sea, which a funeral director can usually help arrange or point you toward a local provider who can.
